  Peter Taylor, Baron Taylor of Gosforth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1974, Taylor successfully prosecuted Judith Ward who was convicted of a series of IRA bombings (many years later, the conviction was found to have been a miscarriage of justice, mostly through Ward's delusions of her own guilt).
Taylor was with the grain of public opinion in supporting stronger sentences on drunk drivers who killed, and he also extended the range of defences available to domestic violence victims who fought back.
Taylor was profoundly affected by the death of his wife in 1995, and shortly afterwards he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

 The HooK: COVER STORY- The write stuff: Why Peter Taylor rocks!
Peter Taylor, restless and peripatetic early in life, found in Charlottesville a kind of leafy (if superficial) calm to serve as the social nirvana his characters always claim exists but can never quite put their hands on.
Peter Taylor was born in 1917, the youngest of four siblings.
Taylor's work has always suffered in the eyes of critics from the perception that it is apolitical, not part of the problem or the solution but something on the side.

 BookPage Nonfiction Review: Peter Taylor
When Hubert H. McAlexander, a professor at the University of Georgia, first told Peter Taylor he wanted to be his biographer, Taylor replied, "Oh, no, I haven't had a very interesting life." But Taylor, a 20th century master of the short story and a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, in fact had many fascinating stories to tell.
As McAlexander relates in Peter Taylor: A Writer's Life, Taylor (1917-1994) was personally engaging, a keen observer of humankind who was devoted to his art.
Taylor is often referred to as a Southern or regional author.

 On Peter Taylor, by William Pratt
Vanderbilt SAE Peter Taylor is the author of two novels, A Woman of Means (1950) and A Summons to Memphis, which in 1986 won both the Pulitzer Prize and, in Paris, the $50,000 Ritz Hemingway prize for English Literature.
That Taylor, too, sees ghosts in old age may be evidence of his anticipation of death, but he manages to make them seem a part of ordinary human experience, just as James did, not at all the exotic Gothic apparitions of Poe.
The consummate artistry of Peter Taylor, like that of James and Porter, convinces us that divine justice might somehow operate in ordinary human circumstances, that there is a moral order in the universe which makes instruments of good or evil out of quite normal people, your friends or neighbors, maybe even your close relatives.

 Peter Taylor: A Writer's Life   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
At first rather dry, as the beginning of the biography deals with historical family records of Taylor’s family, by the advent of the fifth chapter the narrative quickly changes to an absorbing inspection of a personal life beset by the challenges of a life devoted to writing.
Surely, this estimation of Taylor’s story as “too long and too short,” as well as “hard to understand,” (after all this is the New Yorker!) must rate up there with the most stupid remarks in history.
Taylor would change genre from short story to play and then to the novel toward the latter part of his life.

Peter Taylor is well-known as a masterful writer of short stories set in the old South; not the well-explored South of explosive passions, but an urban world of faded gentility and empty custom.
Although Taylor's works focus on the "society" of Nashville and Memphis for the most part and not the agrarians of the rural south, his themes are much the same.
Although Peter Taylor was a fine writer, I doubt that A Summons to Memphis merited the Pulitzer Prize in 1987.

 Studies in Short Fiction: The Craft of Peter Taylor. - Review - book reviews
Although studies on Taylor do exist, there are few texts dedicated to understanding his life, his career, and even the cultural criticism reflected in his stories.
Graham's study helps us to understand Taylor from a variety of specific thematic categories not limited to heritage, gender, and place, while Stephens and Salamon provide a sampling of general and specific critical studies on Taylor's work, reminiscences about his life as a writer and a teacher, and even an interview.
Although Taylor's stories alone are a testament to an esteemed career, these latest studies will certainly help others to appreciate more fully the subtleties of Taylor's craft and his important observations of our culture.
